MVP Readability Issue

[Dakota]

I am running GBPVR 1.2.13 with CS 3.2.1. In the recordings screen, the currently highlighted item is a dark blue background with black text. Its fine on the PC monitor, but basically unreadable on MVP from 10 feet away. Is there a way I can change the text color for the highlighted item to say white?

The community skin plugin now has the ability to change some text colours and font sizes - "edit the current theme (fonts)" in the skin plugin

Alternatively you can edit:

Code:

<NamedColor name="Header" color="[color=Red]HERE[/color]" />

contained in the "baseskin.xml" in the CS3 skin folder.

Can I ask which CS3 theme you are using? The only theme set that uses black highlighted text is the "Cast" series of themes, as far as I know, and if thats the case the selected item should be yellow with black text. I'm not in a position to check the themes on a MVP so I would be very interested (and grateful) for your opinion on how they appear.

Cheers

Hairy,
Thanks for the quick reply. I believe I was running the BlueMCE2 theme. I upgraded to CS3 3.2.2 and Skin Plugin 3.2.2. That solved the problem. The highlighted item is now displayed with white text.
I did have a problem with the Skin Plugin installer. It had problems restarting the GBPVR recording service. It appeared to try to download something for about 4 minutes and then just hung. The next button was greyed out, as was the window 'X'(exit) button. I had to kill the installer from task manager. It looks like the recording service started successfully, but the installer did not know this. Tried it a second time and got same results. I am running the Weather plugin and MVPTrayIcon plugin. Seems like there is a problem with the installer. I am running XP service pack 2.
Everything seems to work now.

Everything seems to work now.

I'm glad you got it sorted.

The installer doesn't download anything. It just waits for the PC to state the recording service has been restarted. I don't know why it takes a while sometimes. That being said, restarting the recording service is the last thing the installer really does, so the install is complete at that time.

Just so if anyone experiences this in the future, it will finish and the install is complete at that time.

Cheers.
